Investment group checks in with €8m hotel buy

New owners are Irish investment company iNua Hospitality, which set up a €20m investment fund in February to buy into the hotel sector, and it promises increased activity and purchases next year, with one or two more purchases, possibly within the next month.
The Radisson Blu Hotel, built around a period house called Ditcheley at Little Island just east of the city and Jack Lynch Tunnel, opened in 2005, at a reported development cost of €37m, spearheaded by dentist-turned-developer Rick Fitzgerald of the Roan Group, with input from experienced hotelier Des O’Dowd.
